I plucked the above image from
the Frontiers of Anthropology operated with Dale Drinnon. The text does push an expansive view of the Atlantean world that
is a little over the top when the data conforms well with a pretty exciting
story in the event.
The maps however are very
important and it is data that I have been waiting for.
Recall that I have recently
posted that the upsurge of the Hudson Bay
region, resulting from the collapse of the Great Ice Age had the natural
consequence of allowing for an equivalent crustal decline. I observed that the easiest region to
experience a decline would surely be the Trans Atlantic Ridge. The most obvious candidate would have to be
the Lyonese land mass, much larger than Great Britain and just West of it
and fully submerged.
This left open the question of
further subsidence along the ridge between Lyonese and the equator. This obviously opened the door for the
Atlantean legend itself. Yet we had no
data.
Now we have the above. Essentially a mountainous ring is shown and
apparently on better images we have a central cone. Far more important is the basaltic outflow
that is mapped and massive. We get the
picture of a subsiding island structure that is quite huge along with massive
undersea basaltic volcanism. It is also
clear that an uplift here could easily been hundreds of miles across. The pumice float from all this is recent and
has been dated somewhat although I suspect it is far from precise as yet.
Pumice debris has been found in
northern waters that date from 4000 years ago to 6,000 years ago according to
one paper I came across. That coincides
well with my expected window of activity although the critical catastrophic
event appears to have taken place around 1159 BC. However this critical event has been blamed
on Hecla alone. Yet the 1159 BC event
could easily have followed thousands of years of basaltic out flows similar to Hawaii . The subsidence event could easily have been a
final dénouement. Hecla itself interior
to the coast and is an unlikely source of pumice.
The main event was the subsidence
itself and this likely occurred in discrete events first perhaps with Lyonese
and later with Poseidia on which Atlantis was established. The volcanism was integral to both Iceland
and the region about Atlantis itself and was ongoing the same as many other
locales globally.
As previously posted, the
emergence of a global thalocracy was clearly an event triggered by the Great Pyramid. Conforming dates all effectively go live at
this time. I suspect efforts to trace
things much before 2440 BC appear badly misplaced. Societies existed but were
barely communicating as no economic driver existed.
The discovery of so-called "Supervolcanoes" all over the world leads to interesting concepts regarding Atlantis in the Azores, right where Plato said that it was in his writings.

Of course, the story has been embellished over the 10,000 or so years ago it was said to exist. However, there is no way to exaggerate the mass extinctions around the world at approximately that time.
DNA "bottlenecks" in species can tell a biological story because some species did become extinct. Those that were left over will suffer from a decrease in the varance of DNA within their species.
This is a fascinating subject since the ruins of Troy was found right where it was said by legend to exist.
There will be no ruins from Atlantis if a volcanic eruption, earthquakes and sinking to the floor of the Atlantic Ocean is how how it ended. The fact that an oral tradition exists in addition to Plato's writings shows that there is a distant memory within the human species that continues until this day.

I'd like to discuss this further with you sometime.
ReplyDeleteFollowing the hypothesis that the Azores area exists over a supervolcano I found research that draws the conclusion that the Azores caldera exhibits the same structures under water that exists in Toba in the Pacific and others. The descriptions drawn from the results of P-wave tomographic studies describes magma resulting from lithospheric friction as well as magma plumes.
ReplyDeleteThis supports the hypothesis that indeed an underwater volcano exists at the Azores Plateau that is indeed capable of an eruption of VEI 8.

As time permits I will continue to work on the hypothesis that Atlantis existed in the Azores as Plato's writing indicated. I will support this hypothesis with scholarly research.
